Ask Me Anything!

 



I recently watched an "Ask Me Anything!" video and found it very useful. At the same time, one of the most common danger zones for speakers of other languages is precisely the matter of asking questions in English. Nobody wants to feel impertinent, prying (adj. showing too much curiosity about other people's affairs), or even unintelligent for not knowing something.
Problem solved! I'm preparing an "Ask Me Anything!" video for my YouTube channel. Take this is an invitation to practise asking real-life questions that are relevant to you. What are your main issues with English? Is there any aspect of using English in your daily life that you're stuck with right now? Your question(s) can be general and broad (adj. covering a wide scope of subjects or areas), or specific and particular to your current situation and needs.
Simply comment below 馃憞 with your question(s) and I'll be answering as many as I can in a video very soon!
For some quick revision on how to ask questions in English, watch this and this.
If you're interested in finding out more about my work and community, take a look at this overview of my ongoing English improvement program, Confident English Training.
Ask away! (Go ahead and ask whatever you want). Good questions are helpful to so many people, and I'm excited about this!
Speak soon ✨

Discover the Benefits of Joining a Book Club in English

  The CET Book Club is starting soon! And what could be a better way of starting a Book Club in English -  for speakers of other languages at intermediate (B1) level or above -  than by reading the transformational gem,  The Art of Communicating , by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, live on zoom together? Very often, students and clients report that although they understand it very well, they feel stuck, anxious or unable to communicate in English satisfactorily, leading to a strong sense of loss of opportunity in their professional contexts. Part of the reason for this might be what I refer to as  undernourished English , that is, insufficient exposure to English through reading and listening.  The CET Book Club in English will address this directly by offering you the opportunity to develop your English language skills through the option of reading the corresponding chapter first, and then by following the transcript as you listen to one of us reading it out loud live during our weekly me

The MBA and the Eight Worldly Winds

  I completed the Inner MBA over the weekend!  Well done, me! ⭐️ But wait! Don't go. Before clicking "Like" and moving on, read about how earning this Certificate is interconnected with The Eight Worldly Winds . What are The Eight Worldly Winds? According to Buddhist teachings, our human nature necessarily means that we will all experience, at one time or another, being " blown about " (that's deeply affected in the moment) by the Eight Worldly Winds (or Conditions): gain and loss status and disgrace (or success and failure) praise and censure (or praise and blame) pleasure and pain This is great news when the Winds brings gain, status/success, praise and pleasure, but not so good when they carry loss, disgrace/failure, censure/blame, or pain. We all try to find ways of reducing our distress when the winds of the world bring devastating storms of suffering to our doorstep. It is our natural instinct to protect ourselves from the pain of the four (unpleasant

La meditaci贸n - preguntas y respuestas

Image
La intenci贸n es que este blog sea el producto de una colaboraci贸n entre ustedes y yo – nosotros J - por lo que se me ocurren 5 preguntas que podr铆an surgir en relaci贸n a la pr谩ctica y a mi, la autora, las cuales tratar茅 de contestar lo mejor que pueda, pero adem谩s me encantar铆a que en los comentarios agregues tus preguntas, e igualmente, tratar茅 de contestarlas, y si quieres agregar algo o expresar alguna idea adicional, por favor hazlo: te escucho J ¿C贸mo funciona y para qu茅 sirve la meditaci贸n? Bueno, es importante aclarar que aunque hayan muchos beneficios, los practicantes no meditamos con ese fin, o sea que al sentarnos no hay una meta por alcanzar, sino que nos sentamos porque disfrutamos de hacerlo. Simple y sencillamente, meditamos porque nos gusta. Lo cual no significa que no resulten importantes beneficios . Al contrario, la pr谩ctica de la meditaci贸n es transformadora , y los cambios que produce son m煤ltiples y de gran profundidad - cient铆ficamente compr
